Provinces and territories have their own streams and requirements. For example, in a program stream, provinces and territories may target

• students
• business people
• skilled workers
• semi-skilled workers

Understand the application process

You need to assess the circumstances to check whether you will apply using the non-Express Entry process, or through Express Entry.

Non-Express Entry process

In the non-Express Entry process

• you apply to the province or territory for nomination under a non-Express Entry stream.
• you need to meet the eligibility requirements of the province that nominates you.
• if you’re nominated, you apply for permanent residence online
• application processing times are longer than through Express Entry.

Express Entry process

In the online Express Entry process, there are 2 ways to apply:

• You contact the province or territory and apply for a nomination under an Express Entry stream.
• If the province or territory agrees to nominate you, you create an Express Entry profile (or update your profile if you already have one) and show you have been nominated.

OR

• You create an Express Entry profile and show the provinces and territories you’re interested in.
• If a province or territory sends a “notification of interest” to your account, you contact them directly.
• You apply to their Express Entry stream.
• If you’re nominated, the province or territory will send a nomination certificate to your account, and you accept it electronically.

In both cases, you must

• meet the eligibility requirements of the province or territory and
• submit an Express Entry profile and show that you meet the minimum criteria for Express Entry.
